Yamaha RX-V795 5.1 Channels Receiver

Pros: Feature packed
Cons: Nasty remote controller

I bought a DVD player a few months back, then decided to buy a Cinema amp so that I could get the Dolby Digital / DTS sound experience that DVD offers. Anyway, I figured that if I bought an amp with an FM tuner, I could retire my whole hi-fi stack and...

Pros: the ability to control everything individually
Cons: remote isn't backlit, printing wears-off of it fast

The Yamaha RXV795 surround receiver is overall a very good piece of home theater equipment. It is very easy to use, and has virtually every cutting-edge technology feature available in this field. I purchased it because of the 5 separate (discreet)...
